Corpse Bride (2025) β Official Trailer Review
π “Till death do us part… wasnβt the end after all.”
The first official trailer for Corpse Bride (2025) has dropped β and itβs as hauntingly beautiful as fans could have hoped for. Tim Burton returns to the world he brought to life nearly two decades ago, but this time with deeper shadows, richer textures, and a darker twist on the tale of love beyond the grave.
Set years after the events of the original, the trailer teases a new story centered around Lenora, a melancholic violinist (voiced by Anya Taylor-Joy), who accidentally reawakens Emily β the iconic Corpse Bride (Helena Bonham Carter) β while mourning a love she believes she lost forever. The Land of the Dead, once whimsical, now carries a gothic elegance touched by sorrow and myth, with glowing lantern-lit caverns, skeleton orchestras, and ghostly waltzes under a shattered moon.
The animation feels both nostalgic and elevated β classic stop-motion with modern flourishes. The color palette is bolder but remains grounded in Burton’s signature dreamlike gloom. Danny Elfman’s score, as teased in the trailer, swells with both melancholy and menace β a perfect match for a story that hints at tragic romance, resurrection, and the price of second chances.
With a glimpse of new characters like the Phantom Groom (voiced by Tom Hiddleston) and spectral foxes that guide souls between realms, the trailer promises a sequel that honors the original while expanding its world in mysterious, magical ways.
If the full film delivers what the trailer hints at, Corpse Bride (2025) could be the most emotionally haunting animated tale of the decade.
π―οΈ Trailer Rating: 9/10 β Ethereal, emotional, and visually spellbinding. Burton is back, and the afterlife has never looked better.
